Arkansas Democrat’s Re-Election Ad: ‘Jesus Told Me to Vote for ObamaCare’

OK, it’s a little more subtle than that, but when Arkansas Sen. Mark Pryor voted for ObamaCare four years ago, he knew this Day of Judgment was coming and now he says he’s seen the light: Sen. Mark Pryor is out with a new TV ad offering a Biblical solution to the already heated 2014 […]

Shorter Obama: ‘It Sucks to Be Me’

It’s an endless tsunami of political pain for Obama nowadays. When your signature issue goes sideways, there’s really nowhere to hide when you’re the Leader of the Free World.
